Why Ask Why

I have a brain that loves to dive into situations and seriously dissect them... sometimes asking 'why' to a fault. But there are times when I will hear something (usually on the news) about politicians or scientific research that really sets me back and I wonder... how can that NOT make sense to everyone? Why is no one asking why?

With obesity on the rise, it amazes me how little responsibility Americans take for their own health. WHY do we sit idly by and wait for someone else to help us? So I'm watching the local news (SOMETHING I RARELY DO) as the anchor talks about obesity studies and research grants that have been awarded to try and find the cause of the highest obesity rate America has ever known. Our researchers are traveling (all expense paid) to foreign countries to study other cultures whose obesity rates are at normal levels. Why?

So I'm walking through the gardening department (<--- because I'm officially a gardener now, YAY!) at my local home improvement store and pass by an entire isle of fruit, vegetable and plant growth enhancers. Huh! I get home and turn on Discovery channel to hear the tail end of a documentary on commercial chicken processing. Do we as Americans realize that meat that is being grown, from birth to processing, is being cranked out in record time? Everything that we are using to fatten up our food and our wallets is being ingested and is MAKING US FAT! Do we need to pay scientists millions to discover why Americans spend $80 billion annually for diet pills, diet foods and fitness products while obesity continues to climb? Is it really any wonder why America is having trouble losing weight? Hello! We are eating growth enhancers. More specifically fattening agents. When are Americans going to learn that there is NOTHING we can do better than just the way God made it. And has anyone kept a record of how many "discoveries" came from other countries that are only employed in the US? I'm not really into conspiracy theories, however I have to wonder how many great ideas were sold to the US to weaken us as a nation. Why aren't we asking why? I mean, I don't think it's accidental that China has been trying to poison us for years. I find it hard to believe that they are actually using the products they are selling to the US... Come on, look at their population! We are dying and becoming sick from using products they produced while they continue to grow. And why haven't I heard anything about our government ceasing trade with China? First lead and now toxic drywall, why are we lacking in common sense? For every two poisoning agents we have found coming from China... how many have we missed? It's sad that we've become a culture of why ask why, someone else will protect me. The government will discover the cause of all my ails and will make sure that America is protected. What will happen when we realize that has not been happening? When everyone is ill, all the money is gone and the groundwork has been completely laid for a God-hating country to take control of weak America will not be the time to ask why. The answer is, "Because we let them. And we did it without question."

Past 7 Days....

Goodbye and Hello

It has been a LONG time since I've suffered a loss that has shattered my heart to pieces, but I recently had to say goodbye to my 13 year old black lab baby.  His name was Sunny and he really was the light of my life.  We got him at the pound the day AFTER the pound neutered him at 5 weeks old!!!   Needless to say, 2 days after we brought him home, the vet bill was already a whopping $900.  Turns out that the surgery was quite difficult for him for two reasons:  1) he was way too young for it in the first place and 2) he had contracted valley fever from whatever environment he had come from.  These two variables culminated to him breathing vomit during his surgery and developing asphyxiated pneumonia.  The little cough that I noted while spending time with him at the pound developed into a VIOLENT cough over the next 48 hours.  After two weeks of treatments from the vet, dropping him off at the vet each morning and then taking him home e...

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
